Eccolo vs. Artwork Archive
Eccolo is studio management software built for independent makers. Orders, production runs, inventory, quotes, deposits and a client portal live in one streamlined app, from $15/month with a 30-day free trial.
Artwork Archive is inventory and career management for artists, collectors and organizations. It’s strong on cataloging artwork, tracking where pieces are showing, online portfolios, exhibitions and deadlines, with invoices and a sales pipeline on its higher plans. It’s built around one-of-a-kind artwork rather than custom orders and batch production.
